I know I may be dating myself here but if you really needed to read some great comics with some great art, I recommend some of the Image Originals from the late 80’s early 90’s. Whilce and Portico did some excellent work back then. Some of these title were developed under the WildStorm lable developed by Jim Lee
Spawn
Wetworks
Grifter
Cyberforce
Stormwatch
Gen13
Only Spawn was any good past the first 25 comics but they are all a great read 1 to 25
There can be only one:
Groo
Did I err?

Gods damn…I’d be broke if I bought comics
My current monthly list is heavy on the superheroes, but I enjoy it all the same:
Action Comics
Amazing Spider-Man (though probably not for long)
Dynamo 5
Proof (not a superhero, but a great monster/paranormal humor-adventure comic)
X-Men: First Class (the only X title I read)
The End League
Also, with my almost-7 year old son: the late lamented JLU; Legion of Super Heroes in the 31st Century; DC Superfriends (a little bit too young for him, actually, but he is still seemingly enjoying it); and the Marvel Adventures Spider-Man and (less frequently now) Fantastic Four digests.
For a while I was getting LOTS of Batsverse comics but 52 weeks did me in and now I’m getting only Batman and the Outsiders. I signed up for the Batgirl mini that starts. . .sometime this summer.
I also get Buffy Season 8, Angel season 5 and Angel spin-offs, I get Astonishing X-Men and the Runaways. (I got the Runaways pre-Joss and will probably get them post-Joss too.) I’m getting the Dresden Files mini. (I assume it’s just going to be those four.) And (most embarrassingly) I’ve been getting the Supernatural comics.
Fellow fan of “The Bat”? Awesome! If you got any good suggestions (what’s that Batgirl mini?), drop a line or two in the Batman thread, I’d appreciate it.
By the way, I was not paid to do this, and you should always support a local comic store when possible, but dcbservice.com is an awesome website that gets you at least a 30-40% discount on all your pre-ordered comics. Check it out – I was put onto it by the folks at the Comic Geek Speak podcast, and think any comics readers over here at GWC would be wise to try it out, too. Also, they have fantastic customer service. Give them a try!
not too bad–don’t overpay. check out quarter boxes, particularly at cons–you’ll probably be able to find a lot of the series for cheap
